() As search and recovery efforts continue across central Texas, residents are still digging through the catastrophic wreckage left behind by deadly flash floods over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Lorena Guillen, owner of Blue Oak RV Park, told “ Live” on Friday that she’s overwhelmed by the outpouring of community support, but says more people need to see the aftermath firsthand.

“People need to see this, and you guys are the only ones sharing that information,” she said.

The floods have claimed at least 120 lives, with more than 160 people still missing. Guillen said her RV park lost a family of four. The parents have been found, but their two children are still unaccounted for.

As she and her husband prepare to rebuild, Guillen said they plan to improve safety measures at the park, including moving units away from the water.

“After losing that family, we’re not going to allow anyone to stay that close to the water,” she said. “So, how can we build it better?”

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump are expected to visit the region Friday, joining Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. Ted Cruz and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for a firsthand look at the damage.

“We’re praying that once he sees the devastation, he’s going to write authorities to start helping us,” Guillen said. “We have employees, we have bills to pay, they’re due, and hopefully he sees that.”
